Contrary Mary Lyrics

Lightning Hopkins Contrary Mary

Contrary, she contrary, she won't do nothing she say
She contrary, she contrary, she won't do nothing in the
world she say
She done been married twice and her first husband, man he
just let her have her way
But you know I won't do that!

You better change your way woman, little girl, Johnny
tells you again, good advice!
You better change your way, little girl, Johnny tells you
again
Then you'll have better times, little girl and you'll
have much o'friend

One more, one more time'll do
One more, one more time'll do
Yes I'm gonna get me somebody else darling, then I'll be
through with you
